The Office of Information Technology is seeking a Sr Software Engineer (Sr IT Analyst) to join our dynamic team in either the Los Angeles or San Francisco office. The annual salary for this role is $104,308 - $139,079. This position allows for up to four days of remote work. In this role, you will lead the design and development of high-complexity components and services with the organization's Microsoft-centric application ecosystem. You will drive technical execution by refining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Action, improving automated testing practices, strengthening monitoring and alerting frameworks, and modernizing legacy systems within the Microsoft stack.

About the Office
The Office of Information Technology (IT) is responsible for enabling State Bar’s internal and external stakeholders by the management, implementation, and maintenance of an organization's technology to support of State Bar’s mission and goals. The office’s primary goals are to build and maintain functional capabilities, to support innovation and to ensure that all systems are running smoothly, efficiently, and securely to support the needs of the organization and its stakeholders.

About the Role
The Senior Software Engineer is responsible for leading the design and development of high‑complexity components and services within the organization’s Microsoft‑centric application ecosystem. This role focuses on building scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions using technologies such as C#, .NET (Core and Framework), ASP.NET MVC, Web APIs, SQL Server, and modern JavaScript frameworks like Angular or React. The engineer also plays a key role in implementing and optimizing integrations—leveraging tools such as Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Event Grid, REST APIs, messaging patterns, and data pipelines—to support reliable communication across internal systems and third‑party platforms.

A strong understanding of enterprise justice or case‑management platforms—preferably Tyler Odyssey—is highly valuable for this role. The engineer will contribute to integrating, and supporting Odyssey‑related applications and workflows, ensuring that custom development and system extensions align with architectural standards and operational requirements.

The position drives technical execution by refining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, improving automated testing practices, strengthening monitoring and alerting frameworks, and modernizing legacy systems within the Microsoft stack. The engineer collaborates with architects, product managers, quality engineering, and infrastructure teams to ensure that software is delivered with reliability, performance, and long‑term sustainability.

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate brings strong engineering judgment, clear communication skills, and a collaborative mindset that strengthens the broader team. They naturally break down complex problems into actionable steps, choose appropriate architectural patterns, and build high‑quality software solutions. They are an effective member of application engineering team who helps elevate team capability through thoughtful code reviews, knowledge sharing, and facilitation of technical discussions.

They are proficient in the Microsoft development ecosystem and comfortable working across the full stack, but they excel most in the areas of design, maintainability, and long‑term system health—not just implementation. They proactively identify risks, help manage technical debt, and make data‑informed tradeoffs to ensure dependable outcomes. Experience with complex case‑management or justice information systems, particularly Tyler Odyssey, is a strong plus, enabling them to navigate domain‑specific challenges with confidence and insight.

This candidate stays current with evolving technologies, adopts tools including AI‑assisted development to improve productivity, and champions strong documentation practices. They value integrity, reliability, and craftsmanship, bringing positive leadership and a continuous‑improvement mindset to every project they support.
